Ladytron put on a damn fine show in at the Metro in Chicago, the Presets opened here too and got a pretty decent response from the crowd as well.
I'd smother a small infant to see Ladytron live. :(
Ladytron is so far the best thing I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store by typoing whatever it was I was searching for at the time.
They manage to do the relatively rare trick of sounding sounding better live (rare for people with an "electronic" sound, whatever that means).
Cracked out psytrancer since I'm pretty much attending directly from HowWeird Street Faire. . . . .
The Ladytron show == the shit
The Mighty Ruckus link is actually http://sfindie.com/ruckus06/, fuckstick.
Not that I'll be there.
Tell it to Google, tool.
First one that came up for me (for sfindie) was http://www.sfindie.com/home.htm, which has the correct info.
The current "Mighty Ruckus" URL occurs nowhere in the first three pages of googling for "Mighty Ruckus", but last year's page is link #3. You're right, though, it would be foolish for the URL that already has the google juice to have, or link to, the current information. I'm so wrong!
I don't actually have anything to do with AMR or the URL or its Google-jizzuice; I provided the link in case you wanted the information.
The "fuckstick" part was just an expression of sheer annoyance at the "Lake Hepatitis" comment.
Damn.. So awesome. One day I will be in Frisco again..
Everyone: please stop reminding me that the Sleater Kinney shows are sold out. I am miserable enough already.
Jesus. Some good gigs there.
Goldfrapp were great when I saw them recently in Sheffield (UK), although sadly lacking the stage props (wolf's heads etc!).
That FLA/support bill looks amazing, too. Shame we couldn't get DJ? Acucrack/Acumen Nation over in the UK :( (We finally get FLA/Stromkern for Infest though!)
Beck's playing at the Fillmore the 25th of May. Just announced today.
That's cool, except oh wait, Beck sucks.
Creepshow Peepshow @ DNA Lounge
(If you miss this, you are a god damned fool.)
Call me a fool, but I'd *much* rather see Scrape.dx.
Let's see... Option A: live comedy with cute dancing girls; or Option B (and gosh, I'm only guessing here) nerdy chubby guys staring at their laptops (that's what "high performance combat audio system" means, right?) Yeah, tough call, tough call.
Actually he's pretty skinny. Otherwise that's pretty much his set, but the track's severely kick! Anyway, we don't have to have the usual debate again.
The headliner's supposed to be a real band, though.
WRONG!!!!!!!
He's not chubby.
And short nerdy guys with laptops totally do it for me way more than goth girls.
I need a laptop. :)
I'll be at Slim's on Monday, but actually I'm going for the opening band.
ahhh, the shittiness of being under 21.
when I lived in LA it seemed a lot more places were open to all ages shows than up here.
MIghty Ruckus today is all ages. Come check it out.
Also, damn shame the Elm Street thing got moved to June 8, that'll compete directly with my big Benefit/Launch party for Another Hole in the Head.
how were the sounds? they seem to be the hot new thing with the kids down here.
